I've had an amazing time so far, having done nearly everything that you guys recommended. Thanks so much!

I particularly enjoyed the Route Napolean yesterday, which I became addicted to eventually. Was literally a free track day for me! We've rented a BMW 1200GS as well as the new 328i between us, so I got to have a go on both. Villefranch-sur-mer and Eze are beautiful too and was cool going food shopping in Antibes market.
In terms of beaches, we've been hanging out on Juan Les Pins most of the time, with the exception of Villefranch yesterday. I don't like the pebbles in Nice. As I would like an alternative, I was planning on going to Spiaggia d’Oro on the other side of the border today. Does anyone have recommendations for any other beaches in the area?

Any other ideas in general? We're leaving tomorrow night...

you could live it up and get yourself on the Carlton beach at Cannes for a few quid ....

if yuore heading west St. Tropez is well worth a visit and there's a great market there
cavaliere has some nice beaches and is quite a nice resort as well

you shouldn't miss a shady walk round St. Paul de Vence though IMO ... if my numbers came up i'd be there right now buying a 3mil Euro villa
